#Street Vendors Rights

Karnataka High Court reinforces that municipal authorities must comply with judicial orders under Articles 226 and 227 of the Constitution, directing immediate shop allotment to street vendors within 30 days. Failure to adhere to court directives constitutes contempt and violates the rule of law, setting a precedent for enforcing judicial compliance in administrative matters.

The Andhra Pradesh High Court ruled that municipal authorities cannot evict street vendors without following due process, reinforcing the constitutional right to livelihood under Article 19(1)(g). The judgment mandates compliance with the National Urban Street Vendors Policy, ensuring vendors are not arbitrarily displaced without notice or hearing, impacting thousands of informal workers across India.
